Long time ago in ancient Greece, there lived
a man named Socrates. He was a knowledgeable and
esteemed philosopher. One fine day, a man approached
him. Guess what the person told Socrates. He told
Socrates that he had some information about his friend.
Before the man could even start talking about his friend,
Socrates told him to take a test, known as the ‘Triple
Filter Test’.
Do you know what the triple filter test is? Well, the
first test of the ‘Triple Filter Test’ was the filter of truth.
Socrates asked him if the information he had was the
truth. The person said that he had just heard it on the
way. He was not sure if it was the absolute truth. The
second filter was that of goodness. He asked the person
if the information was regarding anything good about his
friend. The man said it was actually the opposite.
Now, guess what the third filter was. The third filter
was that of usefulness. Socrates asked if the information
was useful to him in any way. However, the man replied
negatively. Socrates then replied that when information
regarding a friend is not true, good or useful, then why
should it be conveyed at all?
He knew his friend better than others.

The ‘Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the
Dawn Treader’ is based on the fantasy novel of CS
Lewis.
In this film, the youngest of the kids Edmund and
Lucy go back to Narnia accompanied by their intolerable
cousin Eustace. Thus, Skander Keynes and Georgie
Henley start their adventure on high seas and Dark
Island.
This movie gives you all the fun that you expect
from a Narnia movie. The mean Eustace will be seen
finding his noble side and thus giving you another moral
lesson. The special effects used in the movie are watch
worthy and will take you to a fairy tale world. It keeps
your interest level intact with
appealing 3D effects and dragon fires. However, one
will be surprised to see the reluctant Eustace turning out
to be a true hero at the end. He fights fearlessly against
the wicked creatures and sea serpents.
However, Aslan and the mean White Witch were
not seen much in action, probabbly due to their growing
age. This will no way affect the thrill of
watching the movie at the weekend.

soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen.

This text is for questions 39 to 43.
One promotion method people can consider, is
through the Internet. Internet promotion has
advantages and disadvantages.
Internet promotion presents the advantage of a smaller
budget and storage costs, when compared to printing
brochures, producing television or radio advertisements or
managing a call center. It presents a fast and cost effective
option for penetrating new markets.
Besides that, e-mail makes business communications
instant. It makes it easier for customers to maintain contact
and readily facilitates repeat purchasing. The net result is that,
a small business can gain significant competitive advantage in
a given market.
Furthermore, Internet promotion also provides the
advantage of endurance. Whereas participation at a trade fair
or conference loses sales impact, once it is over. An
advertisement in a newspaper or business magazine may
quickly lose its sales generating value within a day or two, or
as soon as the next issue is released. Internet promotion is
often timeless. Apart from the dates and sometimes prices,
much of your website contents remain valid years later.
